Rioting could break out on Britain's streets because of anger at the widening gap between rich and poor, it has been claimed.
Sir Ronald Cohen, himself one of the nation's richest men, warned that violence could flare if the chasm between the haves and have-nots was not closed.

OK, I can make no money and pay no tax. Either way, you aren't getting any more taxes. ;)
Is there no longer a middle class in Britain to buffer the difference between the elite and the impoverished?
Oh? Is England a Communist state?
Do they "divide" wealth there or is it - gasp - earned?
The taxes generated from the ‘rich’ attempting to operate a business pay for the recipients benefits. What do they call food stamps across the pond?
The rich provide jobs for the poor. It’s the way it works and always has.
There will come a point, real soon now, where the ability of the middle class to hold up the welfare state will be at an end
Just last month “The Economist” was praising Tony Blair for reducing the disparity between rich and poor in the UK. A legacy of the Thatcher years our British tutors wrote.
This is exactly why here in the USA we will never give up our guns!
The classic commie "conspiracy" is to undermine the middle class with corrupt values and a poor economy. In this condition, the buffer is weakened and feeds large numbers of disillusioned working class into the "impoverished" category. Then the impoverished can have their Marxist/Maoist revolution.
Revolution completed, the first to be shot are the 'useful idiots' who perpetrated the initial debasing of our values, ie. the liberal intelligentsia, artists, homosexuals, etc.
That those folks are committed communists makes no difference- quite the contrary, they pose a real threat to the state in their proven ability to lead and to think. At the very least their lives will be threatened by petty quarrels and in-fighting within the new political system.
Again: their reputation as "good little commies" will not save them from the new communist government.
How many millions more must perish in gulags and killing fields before Leftists accept this? Well, they don't seem to care... just as long as they have their trendy urban lifestyles to delude and entertain themselves.
The poor offer services that the rich can't bring themselves to do. I am right behind the working man in holding them hostage to labor. Not in the form of unions, which always turn crooked, but by other powerful means.
Another Juneteenth article?

It aint the class divide.
It is simply found in the following—
Is your country inhabited by more that one mooselimb?
You are doomed fool.
Russia 1917, France 1789....those type of riots really worked out well, hasnt it?
This is too brain-dead to even reply to. Call me when the comet comes to pick you up, you whackjob. Taxes cannot cure your mental retardation.
Well stop importing poor people from third world countries who breed like rabbits and create lots of poor children.
And not just in England, if Shamnesty is forced through.
